How to Make Apple Pie:
Prepare your pie crust like this
SMELL this now, its getting there! Go ahead and eat a coated apple slice!
After you’ve sealed them together (see left side of pic), fold the edges over and crimp them with your fingers or use a fork, whichever you prefer (see right side of pic).
Melt some butter and brush it over the crust then sprinkle a bit of sugar on top to make it even prettier!
Cover pie in foil and cut and peel back the center so mainly the outer edges are covered. Return to oven and bake for an additional 45-55 minutes.
Enjoy your delicious apple pie! We suggest eating with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream 🙂
Ingredients
- 1 Package Pilsbury Pie Crusts
- 9-10 apples two different kinds, one Granny Smith
- 1/4 Cup Apple Juice
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3/4 Cup Sugar
- 1/4 Cup Corn Starch
- dash of salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425. Roll one pie crust out into pie plate. Peel and chip apples into large mixing bowl. In separate bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir to blend. Combine all liquid ingredients in another bowl and stir to blend. Pour dry and liquid over apples and stir well.
- Place in oven and bake 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cover entire pie with foil. Cut slits in center of foil and peel back so mainly the outer edge is covered (to prevent it from burning). Reduce heat to 375 and continue baking for 45-55 minutes or until golden.
Thanks for sharing making a pie now.
Hey there, I just wanted to posted a comment since I used your pie to make this past weekend. First of all I would like to say how much I DON’T cook, nor have I EVER baked anything(21 yrs young) My boyfriend has been on my case lately to get in the kitchen and learn how to whip somethings up( he usually cooks) well….. his face in utter surprise when he came home from work to find dinner on the table and a DELICIOUS apple pie in the oven baking.. it was PRICELESS! The pie was so tasty and perfect!! My first time baking was a true success and I actually enjoyed it!! aside from my doorman coming up to my apartment ringing my bell thinking there was a fire( a little juice spilled in the oven and smoke went every where) i told him no fire- just me cooking =) he later enjoyed a slice of pie also!
Anyway, i’d just like to say thanks again for sharing this pie and I looked forward to saving your recipe and making it again!!!
lots of lovin’

Hi, Christy,
I made this pie last night. I realized as soon as I got home from the store that I had forgotten to buy apple juice. I didn’t have any juice other than grapefruit, which seemed like a terrible substitute, so I substituted a sweetish light red wine instead. It turned out delicious!
I visit your blog frequently for inspiration. Thanks for the step-by-step detail! It’s so helpful.
Best regards,
Rhianon
Christy…
My pie came out so very beautiful and delicious! My boyfriend’s family absolutely loved it which made me feel so good :o)
Thanks again for your recipe! — Is there any other recipe of yours you’d recommend I try? I was VERY impressed with your instructions for the pie and even more impressed with my results!
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving,
Emily
Having never made an apple pie from scratch I have complete confidence that this pie will be the best ever! We have just put our pie into the oven and are DYING to have a slice. Alas we must wait until tomorrow so this can go with our dinner.
I wish you the best of luck and am HONORED and thrilled you are using one of my recipes! Its going to be great!!! I can assure you that you are a heap better cook than I was when I was in college!!
Take care and have a great thanksgiving. Thank you for posting a comment and please post again to let us know how it turns out!
Gratefully,
Christy
Hello there… I know this blog has been up quite a while so I don’t know if you will even get this comment but I want to let you know that I am going to make your pie recipe for Thanksgiving tomorrow! I am a college student in southern california and don’t have the money to drive to my parents for Thanksgiving this year. Since my boyfriend’s family is financial struggling right now I have invited them all over for dinner tomorrow. This is my 1st time ever cooking Thanksgiving dinner so you can only imagine how anxious I feel to be making it for my future in-laws!! :o)
I just want to say thank you for not only sharing your recipe but taking the time to make the step-by-step pictures. I will let you know how this turns out — wish me luck!
Oh if you happen to get this today/tonight/whenever, by can I literally use any other kind of apple besides granny smith? Or does the 2nd type also have to be a green apple?
